It is constantly listening for the trigger word / phrase. But this is all done locally and it’s not recording what you say until you say the trigger word/phrase (or it thinks you did!). At which point it activates and starts recording, and what you say is then sent to apple’s servers to be processed to work out what you wanted, a response sent back and then vocalized by the device.
